Celebrating 70 Years of the Tavistock Institute

It is now 70 years since Human Relations was founded by the Tavistock Institute.

Kurt Lewin published his seminal paper, Frontiers in Group Dynamics: Concept, Method and Reality in Social Science; Social Equilibria and Social Change in the first issue in 1947. And so began a long history of publishing the highest quality research on social relationships at and around work.

The Tavistock Institute festival in October, ‘Reimagining Human Relations in Our Time’, explores stories of the Tavistock Institute from its 70 years. The festival runs from October 17-20, and will be both a celebration of Tavistock’s legacy and the launch of the Tavistock archive.
